A SHORT SUPPLY CAUSES AN AID
VANCE IN PRICES.

Northern Companies Refuse to Fill
Southern Orders and Dealers Com
PEELED to Depend Upon Their Stock
on Hand-An Advance of soc. on All
Grades in Effect To-Day.
Savannahians will have to pay so cents
a ton more for coal to-day than they did
yesterday. The advance was made through
dealers combination and went into effect
at 6 O'Clock last night. It is not due to the
cold wave nor to a corner, but is on account
OF scarcity of coal.
Advices from the Philadelphia and Read
ing and Delaware and Hudson coal COM
panies to their Savannah correspondents say
that they are filing no orders except for
even to Eastern points, which are much
larger consumers than the South.
CAUSE OF THE SHORT SUPPLY.
The strike among the Tennessee and Ala
bama miners has cut off the supply of soft
coal and the market is short all
over the country. Savannah gets
it's hard coal supply from the North
and the strikes there nave shut up many
of the mines. The dealers stock on hand
here will supply the local trade until Jan.
l. There has been heavy demand for
SEVERE udyS liOul liiLtilpI pDlhb9, Dub OilC
dealers will fill no orders because they do
not know how long the freeze out is going
to last. The advance which went into
effect last night is on all grades. Coal
which sold yesterday for ST and So 30 per
ton will sell to-day for So 30 and s.. This
is half dollar higher than Baltimore and
Boston consumers pay.
ORDERS FROM THE INTERIOR.
Orders were received yesterday from Au
gusta, Atlanta, Macon, Columbus, Rome
and other points for carload lots but none
of them were filed. The dealers say that
they are going to supply the local trade
first. Maj. j. A. A. West, President
of the Cooperative Coal Company of Au-
gusta came down yesterday morning. He
said that his company has only about 500
tons of hard coal on hand. The soft coal
supply is short, and he does not know what
the interior trade is going to do. The local
dealers say that they do not propose to
squeeze the market, but that they were
compelled to max the advance on account
of scarcity of the product. There was a
rush of ordatj yesterday on account of the
cold snap, a I'd u%tr4s there is change to-
day it will pr baby keep up through the
week, in spit of the advance.

circles about the proposed new line to start

road as proposed will run from Fort Valley
through Houston, Pulaski, Dodge, Laurens,
